Book Reviews of The Andy Warhol Diaries
Book Review: what was andy doing when...
Summary: 4 Stars
you were born? you had a birthday, etc. etc. Very complete in terms of hardly a day skipped from 1976 to 1987. While some might enjoy reading it straight, there's no need. Andy's casual talk of celebs is great. One day, my fifth birthday, his 54th, is a great one. "It was a depressing day, my birthday... Met Dustin's new wife, very pretty , who looks like Debra Winger. So many of these girls now do. But the baby looks like one of those babies Barbra Streisand would have with Elliot Gould." -typical entry. good stuff, utterly useless, and that's what makes it good.Book Review: Hip NY in the 70's and early 80's
Summary: 4 Stars
Andy Warhol knew everybody and left these brief diary entries over a period of years that coincided with the Studio 54 era of Jagger, Capote, Halston and countless other connected NY glitterati. The book is a fascinating look into Warhol's personal reflections on his friendships and the people involved in the scene at the time. It can be basically opened at random and read with enjoyment.
Pretty cool stuff if you are interested in that period of NY cafe society.
Book Review: Feels like a brick!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
That's an interesting book because it offers you a real close idea about who Andy Warhol was and how he went about his daily routine. You gotta have patience because it can get boring at times. Too much unnecessary information ( like how much he paid for the taxi on his way home ) some would say, but then again, if you are a fan of Warhol and his way of thinking, many parts of the book will just make you laugh!It's 800 pages long!Book Review: Comprehensive and a long read....
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, I know it was narrowed down from 20,000 pages (what a job in itself) but its going to take me forever to finish this book. It's not a book you can breeze through. You're in for the long haul with this one. I'm not a fan of Warhol's work but I love the scene of the 60's, 70's & 80's and this book is definitely an insight to what was happening during those times in the theater & art world.Book Review: warhol diaries
Summary: 4 Stars
Upon receiving this book, I am amazed at how warhol chronicled his life. many run ins with celebrities and the fact that he kept a record of all his small finances were surprising.
Very interesting read and very informative of the life and times of the 1960's
thank you warhol for all the great art.
